WE NEED MORE MADELINES!

Feared by Senator McCarthy, beloved by those she helped - this story is told by her family and in
exclusive interviews with Carl Reiner, Martin Sheen, Richard Dreyfuss, Lily Tomlin, Valerie Harper, Norman Lear, Bob Balaban, James Cromwell, and more!

Madeline knew that tyranny's FIRST STRIKE is at the
BILL OF RIGHTS.

She never stopped fighting for good in America:

MADELINE LIVED her belief that civil rights are HUMAN rights,

SHE OWNED her mistakes and made NO excuses.

and SHE LEFT this world with a legacy of resistance!
